The impact of coaching on outcomes and changing practice is well documented.  “To put ideas…into action requires having an intention to change, having knowledge of what successful change would look like, and having a safe opportunity to trial any new teaching methods.  This often requires some specific coaching.” Hattie, Visible Learning for Teachers, pg. 64.

Joyce and Showers (2002) showed the powerful impact of coaching in comparison with other methods of training for raising understanding, skill attainment, and application.

Investment: $800/Team 
Includes: two half-day sessions of small group and individual support and feedback.
